Jon Horford will travel with the Michigan basketball team to Indiana, but won't play

By Nick Baumgardner

Michigan basketball forward Jon Horford will be on the bench with his teammates Thursday in Bloomington, Ind.

He just won't be in uniform.

Michigan coach John Beilein said Wednesday that the sophomore big man is likely to miss his sixth straight game with a foot injury when the 16th-ranked Wolverines travel to No. 12 Indiana (9 p.m., ESPN2).

"We're going to do a regular exam on Monday," Beilein said. "I think we'll know where he is.

"But he is going with us (to Indiana). It's important he be there for support and so he gets used to that atmosphere for the future."

Michigan forward Jon Horford watches the Dec. 29 game against Penn State from the bench. Coach John Beilein said he'll have a better grasp on Horford's immediate future after a Monday examination.
